So I'm a Twitch Streamer, and avid user of their website. I donate money through Streamlabs to streamers, I donate using twitch's currency called bits, and I subscribe to people. One of the streamers I follow has mentioned before that these (or at least bits as far as I remember) are a tax deductible write off because it's considered a networking cost. Can anyone verify the legitimacy of this claim and point me towards the laws and logic that allow me to claim these purchases of bits and donations as a tax deduction? I live in California, and if this can be applied to my twitch community as well, that would be cool to learn how to explain it.
